The steady flow of a Jeffrey fluid model in the presence of nano particles is studied. Similarity transformation is used to convert the governing partial differential equations to a set of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations which are solved numerically. Behavior of emerging parameters is presented graphically and discussed for velocity, temperature and nanoparticles fraction. Variation of the reduced Nusselt and Sherwood number against physical parameters is presented graphically. It was found that reduced Nusselt number is decreasing function and reduced Sherwood number is increasing function of Brownian parameter $$ N_{\text{b}} $$Nb and thermophoresis parameter $$ N_{\text{t}}$$Nt.
